Rsync is a fast and extraordinarily versatile file copying tool. It can copy
locally, to/from another host over any remote shell, or to/from a remote rsync
daemon. It offers a large number of options that control every aspect of its
behavior and permit very flexible specification of the set of files to be
copied. It is famous for its delta-transfer algorithm, which reduces the amount
of data sent over the network by sending only the differences between the
source files and the existing files in the destination. Rsync is widely used
for backups and mirroring and as an improved copy command for everyday use.

Changelog

2018-01-29 - pmonrealgonzalez@suse.com
- Update to version 3.1.3 [bsc#1076503]:
Protocol: 31 (unchanged)
- SECURITY FIXES:
* Fixed a buffer overrun in the protocol's handling of xattr names and
ensure that the received name is null terminated.
* Fix an issue with --protect-args where the user could specify the arg
in the protected-arg list and short-circuit some of the arg-sanitizing
code.
- BUG FIXES:
* Don't output about a new backup dir without appropriate info verbosity.
* Fixed some issues with the sort functions in support/rsyncstats script.
* Added a way to specify daemon config lists (e.g. users, groups, etc)
* that contain spaces (see "auth users" in the latest rsyncd.conf manpage).
* If a backup fails (e.g. full disk) rsync exits with an error.
* Fixed a problem with a doubled --fuzzy option combined with --link-dest.
* Avoid invalid output in the summary if either the start or end time had
an error.
* We don't allow a popt alias to affect the --daemon or --server options.
* Fix daemon exclude code to disallow attribute changes in addition to
disallowing transfers.
* Don't force nanoseconds to match if a non-transferred, non-checksummed
file only passed the quick-check w/o comparing nanosecods.
- ENHANCEMENTS:
* Added the ability for rsync to compare nanosecond times in its
file-check
comparisons, and added support nanosecond times on Mac OS X.
* Added a short-option (-@) for --modify-window.
* Added the --checksum-choice=NAME[,NAME] option to choose the checksum
algorithms.
* Added hashing of xattr names (with using -X) to improve the handling of
files with large numbers of xattrs.
* Added a way to filter xattr names using include/exclude/filter rules
(see the --xattrs option in the manpage for details).
* Added "daemon chroot|uid|gid" to the daemon config (in addition to the
old chroot|uid|gid settings that affect the daemon's transfer process).
* Added "syslog tag" to the daemon configuration.
* Some manpage improvements.
- DEVELOPER RELATED:
* Tweak the "make" output when yodl isn't around to create the man pages.
* Changed an obsolete autoconf compile macro.
* Support newer yodl versions when converting man pages.
- Dropped patches fixed upstream:
* rsync-CVE-2017-16548.patch
* rsync-3.1.2-CVE-2018-5764.patch
- Refreshed patches:
